assassin?

[Loki Danu]

hows this?

120 fencing
115 tac
110 ninja
100 hide
88 and rising stelth
100 med
80 nox

100 str 100 dex 30 int

[Escaflowne/Balgus]

Can't you afford a +20 stat scroll and go 95 str, 100 dex, 50 Int?

[Damien Bedford]

Esca will buy you one, Loki

[Loki Danu]

dont have the money yet!


how much are they?

You don't want 110 ninjitsu if you intend to use deathstrike. It's an 80% or so success rate there, which simply isn't high enough considering you lose the full 30 mana if it fails.

You have no healing, something a lot of my fellow assassins have tried in the past or currently still try and I'm pretty sure you'll end up regretting that eventually.

[Park Su-mi]

And with stealth, ninjitsu and fencing you'll still qualify for the cheapest special moves there which makes 100 med seem somewhat excessive.

Also, without focus, be prepared to burn through stam pots. I've gone through about three refresh kegs in the last month alone. =P

At the end of the day, in UO as in WoW, the best templates are cookie-cutters and have already been done a thousand and one times. Why? Because they work and they're successful.

It really depends what you're trying to do, though. Do you want to be purely an assassin, with little practicality in battles, dealing burst-damage to drop stationary targets from stealth and then getting the hell out of there?

If not, ninjitsu has little value beyond basic utilities (wolf form stealthing, shurikens if you poison and smokebombs) and is a waste of the 120 odd skill points you'll need to ever put your faith in deathstrike.

If you want to be an all-purpose dexer then find someone with a basic nox-fencing build and just copy it. I would link you to Shiro in KJ but he's not got his skills shown yet (Wes, if you're reading, beat him up!)

i want to hit and run but do max dmg while im doing it

but i will only be attacking people who are low health

its just ive been told anat is needed but i dont have it

[Loki Danu]

reeeet got me a 120 stelth scroll (at 89 going up) and ive just hit 120 ninja
still gutted i dont have anat as it seems to give good dmg but ill live lol
so at this moment in time im

120 fencing
115 tac
100 hiding
80 nox
120 ninja
89 stelth
what evers left over go's in med or focus

allso got me a +20 stat so im 100/100/50 but might drop to 90 str and up int by 10


allso stratics only tells you how to get to 100 stelth
from 95 to gm its gm studded and a close helm but to 120?

Did you leave out healing on purpose? You'll have a hard time staying alive relying purely on potions.

I'd replace tactics with 100 healing. Or 90 healing.

[Shunsaki]

You could also opt to forsake any advice here and get onto Testcenter. It's your best friend.

[Loki Danu]

good plan
im an assasin so im not planing on going head to head with a full on fighter

ill hit when ther half health

[Declan O'Connor]

Isn't that more of a coward template than an assassin!?

[Loki Danu]

not realy as an assassin uses everything to hand

so you would rather go head to head? in other words your just a fighter

if you sneek up and keep and eye out for ther low health you can get the kill and at not much risk

no cowordis just propper assassin play
